Barjac, Languedoc-Roussillon 30430

An exceptional estate set in a green setting of some forty hectares. Built to enrich everyday life, it's the poetry of existence, with a sense of sharing and the desire to create a place for entertaining, a place where simplicity offers a peaceful space, no room for the superfluous, the essential is sufficient in itself, authentic and minimalist natural materials, finding a balance between heritage and modernity. It reflects a desire to create an elegant renovation with a holiday feel, a renovation with southern accents in this beautiful region of the Vivarais, which highlights the transparent quality of the air and the light so particular to the lower Ardche region - the colours are soft and the atmosphere peaceful. From the impressive heated swimming pool (15x7.8m) with its overflow pool and travertine stone surrounds (205m), an ocean of unspoilt nature unfolds in waves. Situated in the hills, just a stone's throw from the Chauvet cave, this ancestral home (800m of living space) has been renovated into several charming, spacious and ideally laid-out accommodation units, offering all modern comforts in a rustic setting. Each accommodation (the main house of 180m + 5 guest areas: 50, 75, 115, 150, 250m) has been carefully designed to provide a unique and relaxing experience. Ideal for family reunions, friends' get-togethers, team building, sports breaks, training courses and weddings. The property has space for up to 45 people in group accommodation. There are 300m of outbuildings, some of which can be converted. Near the swimming pool, a 29m shed with a wood-fired oven for cooking pizzas, crusty bread, grilled fruit tarts or stewed meat. There is also a 28m outbuilding that needs to be completely renovated. A little further away, a sheepfold with 3 stalls of approx. 12M each and, last but not least, a mini farm with a vegetable garden. The property, which has a professional kitchen, is supplied with spring water and has a well for collecting rainwater. It is possible to install a mains water supply, which will undoubtedly add value. The house is serviced individually by a septic tank, which works well but does not meet current standards. The boiler is gas-fired and solar panels provide hot water and heating for the private area. If you're looking to immerse yourself in nature and the great outdoors, with ideas for hikes to suit all tastes, embark on a journey through the seasons and let yourself be inspired by the wonders of this region, rich in landscape, culture and heritage. The Cvennes Mountains in Ardeche offer a land of raw beauty and unique identity, a sanctuary for enthusiasts. Ref : 2775
